REVIEW: GARDEIN Organic Seven Grain Crispy Tenders

I decided to test something I am often asked about and that is the GARDEIN Seven Grain Crispy Tenders (not sponsored). Honestly, I had never tried them, but do get asked a lot for product reviews and this was the perfect recipe to accomplish that. I have to say, I am a not a meat-alternative aficionado BUT, I did really enjoy these!

There are, of course, many other brands of vegan tenders so feel free to use whichever you find or prefer.

So, of course, they come frozen and I just used my little Breville Smart Mini Oven(*Amazon affiliate link) to crisp them up. 8-10 minutes per side and they were perfect!

The texture was crisp on the outside, but very tender inside.

While they are still warm, you’ll want to coat them in the hot sauce. Remove to a plate to cool.

At this point, I gave them a second dip in the Buffalo sauce. Completely optional, but it does soak in a bit.

I whipped up a mixture of softened vegan cream cheese and my own homemade vegan Ranch dressing as a spread. If you don’t like, or can’t find, vegan cream cheese – feel free to use just the ranch recipe. If you are lucky enough to find a vegan bleu cheese – that would be great here as well!

I topped with a few of my crispy tenders and some leafy butter lettuce. I’m using a low carb wrap which was admittedly not the easiest to roll. I would opt next time for a traditional flour tortilla for the sturdiness factor.

I served with celery sticks and more of my homemade vegan Ranch dressing. These were so tasty, I really enjoyed them and I give a huge thumbs up to the crispy tenders. I am enjoying the remainder plain with a my vegan honey mustard dip 🙂
